Scott Wilkins replied to Budababe's discussion 'Edgepark vs Insurance give me a break!!' in the group OmniPod UsersScott Wilkins replied to Clare's discussion 'Apidra and the pod' in the group OmniPod Users"Heat and pod/insulin are a big no-no. That was one of the things I had to weigh in on when I when to pump use from MDI. With MDI I could hot tub it or sauna. With one you can't. With any pump you've got to watch heat. Unless you time the…"
Scott Wilkins replied to John Galt's discussion 'Out of Box Experience for Transitioning Customers (Ordered via Distribution)' in the group OmniPod Users"Thanks for the info John. The blue one was considered too low in most test. Sad to see the black one here even lower. Oh well."
Scott Wilkins replied to John Galt's discussion 'Out of Box Experience for Transitioning Customers (Ordered via Distribution)' in the group OmniPod Users"*jealous* :)
Interesting they still provide the extra meter. Have you had time to test the BG accuracy of the new PDM? Is it any different than the old one?"
Scott Wilkins replied to NatalieHodge's discussion 'existing customers with new pods?' in the group OmniPod Users"My understanding is that they will contact you before sending the new pods. I could be wrong on that though. Expect a Fall time frame."
Scott Wilkins replied to Chris's discussion 'thinking of going tubeless' in the group OmniPod Users"I think the reasoning is that with the Omnipod, it's a much more personal device. So people adhere to it closer than they do any other pump. And when problems occur, they become a bit more emotional and vocal. I have a close friend that's…"
Scott Wilkins replied to Agswin04's discussion 'Insulet strikes again' in the group OmniPod Users"I don't see any lies. Insulet did say they stopped shipment of the devices at one time, so that seems to verify what they told you. You're trying to hard again..."
Scott Wilkins replied to Jim's discussion 'The new pods' two-hour alarm' in the group OmniPod Users"Also, what about those on CGMs? They don't need a reminder. I guess Insulet didn't even think about that."
Scott Wilkins replied to Jim's discussion 'The new pods' two-hour alarm' in the group OmniPod Users"The choice is more about quality of life I think. This lowers it, unfortunately."
Scott Wilkins replied to cat's discussion 'omnipod meter reads much lower than regular freestyle meter?' in the group OmniPod Users"That does seem like a lot. There are a lot of threads here on this site about the PDM reading lower. I've got mine set to "17" instead of the "16" that are normally on the strip bottle, and find that is much closer. Though,…"
Scott Wilkins replied to greg's discussion 'New pods are worth the wait.' in the group OmniPod Users"Thanks greg on the info. Keep the good stuff coming."
Scott Wilkins replied to vickim1970's discussion 'question before i call insulet' in the group OmniPod Users"Vickim1970
They won't deliver the new pods yet to you. Basically your are already on a list and will get them when enough are ready. Patience is the only answer here."
Scott Wilkins replied to Brooklyn's discussion 'Blood in Reservoir' in the group OmniPod Users"I've had that happen once before. I toughed it out and was OK for the normal 2 days I get out of a pod. BG tests were average too."
Scott Wilkins replied to Agswin04's discussion 'Cases' in the group OmniPod Users"With the FreeStyle Promise, it works with your insurance. Your drug store just files your normal insurance, then files the Promise program as secondary insurance. I pay $15/month for my strips. Otherwise I'd pay $100/month with my main…"
Scott Wilkins replied to Agswin04's discussion 'Cases' in the group OmniPod Users"Here's what I use. Made for golfing, but I can fit the PDM, another pod if needed for changing, test strips, finger sticker, extra batteries, travel Kleenex pouch, alcohol pads, and a roll of Glucotabs. 100% of everything I'd need in any…"
Scott Wilkins replied to Jim's discussion 'I've finally got a new pod working' in the group OmniPod Users"Insulet confirmed these manufacturing problems in there last investor update. They say they have the problems fixed now. So it shouldn't be a problem in the future."

Read it all, but here's the good part...
BCG's latest feat, though, is perhaps its most unexpected. Several years ago, Harvard professor Denise Faustman showed that BCG could be used to treat diabetes in mice. She demonstrated that the…
